AQUEOUS MEDIA PURIFICATION METHOD AND DEVICE COMPRISING A FUNCTIONALISED POLYHIPE RESIN

摘要

The present invention relates to the field of water purification, especially water purification with PoIyHIPE resin. It is an object of the present invention to provide a suitable means for the removal of microbial matter from water. In particular it is an object of the invention to provide a virus removal means capable of at least two Log removal. Accordingly, the present invention provides a method for the purification of aqueous media comprising the step of contacting a contaminated aqueous medium with PoIyHIPE resin. The present invention further provides a polyHIPE resin co-polymer comprising a styrene based monomer and a cross-linker and a second styrene based monomer. The resin is aminated, sulphonated or betainated.
